On March 30, 1977, two-year-old Tiffani Claudette Wise and her five-year-old half-sister Brandi Summers were abducted from their home in San Bernardino, California. Their mother, Beverly Wise, was found inside the house, stabbed to death. An eight-month-old sibling in the home was unharmed.

Tiffani was born March 24, 1975, and was described as a White female with naturally curly blonde/strawberry hair, blue/hazel eyes, and a surgical scar on her head from a 1975 operation. At the time of the disappearance she was between 2 feet 0 inches and 3 feet 5 inches tall and weighed between 40 and 50 pounds. Witnesses reported seeing a man resembling Roy Summers, Beverly’s ex-husband and Brandi’s father, outside the house that day and putting Tiffani into a gold Camaro.

The investigation stretched for decades. Summers, who had a documented history of violence toward his wives, was an initial person of interest and was located and arrested in Oregon in 1979; authorities recovered photographs of the girls and some of their belongings. Several others were arrested over the years: Juanita Tiny Iwakiri was convicted in Tiffani’s case before that conviction was overturned; Lee Allan Casner, Vivian Casner, and Roy Summers’ sister Karen Carino were at various times charged as accessories and later had charges dropped.

Did anyone in the San Bernardino area during the late 1970s recognize the gold Camaro or the man seen that day?
